The Master of the Aetherlands of The United Vex Imperium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Augustus Callus Elryn with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 15.792 billion Imperials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vexium. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 7,174 trillion Script and Fleurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 454,333 Script and Fleurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Vexium for fear of causing a fuss, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Vex Imperium's national animal is the regal mastiff, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Imperial Aldericism.

The United Vex Imperium is ranked 5,856th in the world and 4th in The Amaranthine Isles for Most Cultured, scoring 154 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
